I have driven just about every porsche, they all suck for the money except for one. The GT-2. The turbo is fast as ****, and believe it or not the GT-2 actually beats the turbo by 100 ft. 0-60 and almost 350 1/4 mile. It is UNFREAKIN believable. The GT-3 is a waste of money as it is NA. But still, for $180kish I would have many other cars over that.

LOL that was a rape.
With full exhaust, ECU, and 13.5psi (and other minor stuff) I was neck-n-neck with a 996 Turbo till we dropped off at about 140 or so. I can't imagine a T78 against a NA carrera

I can't believe you guys are trying to claim a 911 or M3 is a "waste of money". There's a lot more to a car than 0-60 and 1/4 times. Basically the same reason you guys choose to drive 12 year old cars...

I've driven a 911, a 993, AND a 996. Personally, I think the 996 is a waste of money. The 911s and the 933s all make you feel like part of the car. The 996 seems to want to do everything for you. The 996 even felt Slushly compared to the other models.
I can't blame Porsche though. It's the same reason why they came up with the Cayenne. They have to make money, and the only way to do it is by selling cars that most people will agree with. The 996 made me feel detached from the car.
If I had the money, I would never buy a 996. I'll buy a 993 Turbo. Of course, if I can afford a 993 Turbo, I'll save a lil more cash and get a Turbo S
IMHO, the 993 Turbo S is ultra Sexy. No lines anywhere. Just one big nice contoured shape with beautifully blended engine bay intake ports

Yeah, only 16. I can't imagine what it is like being 16 and having that much power. It is like a death wish.

10K? **** I would say more than that. That FMIC is more than 2K alone. Then a $3500 T-78 kit. Fuel mods, tires, and all supporting ****. Damn I have spent 6K and I am still on stock twins.
